Drafting is the drawing or designing of an entity to be manufactured, produced or constructed, such as machines or buildings.
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the digital manipulation of the drafting process in two- and three-dimensions. Antelope Valley College’s drafting and computer aided design program utilizes state-of-the-art computers, printers and plotters, as well as industry standard software such as AutoCAD.
What certificates/degrees can I earn?
- Drafting/computer aided design certificate
- Associate in Science degree in drafting/computer aided design
What will I learn?
You will learn how to draw two- and three-dimensional diagrams and plans, using both conventional materials and computer software. This allows you to take mechanical drafting techniques and blueprints and interface them with the capabilities of a computer to design and produce plans that can be easily modified and further developed without starting over. You will learn engineering principles, use of traditional and digital instruments, construction methods, applied geometry and pictorial drawing.
